The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will jointly organize this School and Workshop on Fundamental Methods for Atomic, Molecular and Materials Properties in Plasma Environments.
The one-week event at ICTP in Trieste, from 16 to 20 April 2018, will provide training and information exchange for computational scientists working on models and data for atomic, molecular and materials processes relevant to fusion energy research, industrial plasmas, laser-produced plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and warm and hot dense matter. The training is aimed at advanced Ph.D. students, postdocs and other young researchers. The information exchange will span several disciplines: from molecules to materials and from method developments to data treatments. Topics related to energetic events and electronically excited states are emphasized throughout the programme. The schedule features lectures by international experts, invited and contributed research talks, posters and discussion sessions, with ample time available for interaction and discussions.
A scientific contribution (normally a poster, but some may be selected for a talk) is expected from each participant. Applicants are requested to attach a one-page abstract of their contribution in the Research Abstract sub-section under Professional Data when completing the online application form. A number of poster prizes will be awarded, courtesy of the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP).
